You’re Letting AI Do Your Talking. Here’s Why That’s Terrifying.

Young adults are secretly using AI to navigate in-person conversations, trading genuine human connection for algorithmic anxiety relief. But by outsourcing our awkwardness to chatbots, we aren’t curing social anxietyโ€”we’re permanently crippling our ability to build real intimacy.

The Autism ‘Epidemic’ Is a Lie. Here’s the Truth.

The rise in mild autism diagnoses isn’t a biological epidemic โ€” it’s a cultural rebranding.
